K18 Signet and others

[j.m.k]

My first K18 find as I understand from some googling it stands for a mixture of 14K and 18K. Anyway clearly gold and a heavy one too so one happy chappy here

Smaller gold in the pic is an earring and 585/14K

As far as I know K18 is the same thing as 18 karat. I've never heard about K18 being a mixture of 14k and 18k.

As I examined the ring more closely the face plate is lighter colour than the body so I would assume the face is made of 14K and the body 18K but who knows..

Very, very nice finds. I would be lit up for weeks after digging those goodies.

K18 is a first for me. I tried looking it up on the internet and it seems to be a designation for 18K by Japanese jewelry makers. I didn't come up with any case where they talked about mixed metals, except when I saw a ring listed as K18/Pt 950 which is the typical designation for a mixed metal. Any which way you slice it, it is a very nice find....
